Check out this article in the Post & Courier Greenville about something we talked about at our recent meeting: “Simpsonville is planning a roughly $650,000 renovation of its senior center on the edge of downtown using federal development and state grant funds. At a meeting Tuesday, City Council unanimously approved the plan to use about $300,000 in federal community development funding it received through Greenville County for the project. Gracely said the city receives the funding annually, and is using a portion of last year’s distribution for the project as well. The city is in the process of applying for up to $350,000 in funding from the South Carolina Department on Aging for the remainder of the necessary funding, Gracely said.”
